What is it?

What should it be?

(thanks Cheeky for sending my mind off wondering in new directions!)

First suggestion: the adoption of the Oxford comma as the only acceptable comma!

OMG not the Oxford Comma again. How about a law that prevents the picky, pedantic and grammar police from decending on innocent threads and demeaning people?

About 20 yrs ago, I used to work in a huge bakery in Oxfordshire, and more than half of the notice board was covered in Punjab, Polish and Urdu.

I am sure the op was not trying to formulate trouble. Things have changed a lot. From the premiership to local councils; things have changed. The change WILL continue ; I doubt sharia though.

Out of interest and total ignorance (a rare moment for me I know), why do Americans call chips French fries?

I have absolutely no idea. I don't think any American knows why we call them that.

We changed it to "freedom fries" during the Iraq war, though. So feel free to call them that instead

The land of grey peas and bacon

TThomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" served at a White House dinner in 1802.

The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: French Fried Potatoes.—Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain."

In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried," for other foods such as onion rings or chicken.

It is unlikely that 'French fried' refers to 'frenching' in the sense of "julienning", which is not attested until after 'French fried potatoes'; previously, Frenching referred only to trimming the meat off the shanks of chohomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in

Well, I dunno about texts, but in New York hash browns are those oily patty type potato you get from McDonald's. Chunky fries are thick cut and fried. Home fries are potatoes, usually cubed, and grilled with peppers, onions, salt, and pepper. Usually served at breakfast. And my favorite breakfast food ever.

"What do you call cake?!

I've googled and asked Siri and he says you call cake cookies but I don't believe him. Cookies are cookies and cake is cake!!

No. I call biscuits, cookies. Cake is cake, but I don't eat it much so I don't call it anything

So is a Jaffa Cake a cake, cookie or biscuit ... "

Cookie. Biscuits are what you give your dog.

Out of interest and total ignorance (a rare moment for me I know), why do Americans call chips French fries?

Is it an ironic thing because they originated in Belgium?

I'm bemused by home fries, in one place they're fat chips, in another they're hash browns of the grated potato and onion sautéed variety

Home fries are different from hash browns and chunky fries. Home fries are sacred.

But what are they?!?

Cos in Texas they are never quite sure from one place to the next.

Well, I dunno about texts, but in New York hash browns are those oily patty type potato you get from McDonald's. Chunky fries are thick cut and fried. Home fries are potatoes, usually cubed, and grilled with peppers, onions, salt, and pepper. Usually served at breakfast. And my favorite breakfast food ever.

I've had shredded potato and onion fried on a grill plate and served in a pile (not squashed into a greasy patty) which have been called hash browns in some establishments and home fries in others. And sometimes home fries turn out to be fat chips!

I hate to break it to you, but you're going to the wrong establishments "

As I say, it was in Texas...

"

TThomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" served at a White House dinner in 1802.

The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: French Fried Potatoes.—Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain."

In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried," for other foods such as onion rings or chicken.

It is unlikely that 'French fried' refers to 'frenching' in the sense of "julienning", which is not attested until after 'French fried potatoes'; previously, Frenching referred only to trimming the meat off the shanks of chohomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in

It's a sponge finger injection filled with a kind of whipped buttercream.

Both the sponge finger and the filling have got lots of ingredients you wouldn't normally find in sponge cake or buttercream and as a result it has been suggested that Twinkies would survive a nuclear holocaust as edible as they are now.

I hated velveeta. I bought it once because it looked all creamy, then I made it, took one bite, and couldn't finish the rest.
